THE HEALING CHRIST RY SHEFFER'S justly celebrated painting, Christus Consolator^ in which those who had been healed and blessed by the Master were grouped about him, once suffered in reproduction a serious mutilation. With the sick and sorrowing looking into Jesus' face with devout thanksgiving there was pictured a negro slave with his shackles fallen at his feet. A certain northern missionary society in the old slave days desiring to use this pic- ture as frontispiece to a new prayer book, and... fear- ing to offend Southern brethren, actually inserted a copy of Christus Consolator with the liberated slave left out. This book is sometimes exhibited as illustration of the effect of fear and prejudice upon presumably good men. In imitation of these timid disciples I imagine a rationalist writing of Jesus would, a few years ago, have "left out" all consideration of the so-called miracles of healing. Now no true rationalist, that is a man who fearlessly faces all fact and truth can write of the gospel story and pass in silence deeds of love and pity which the heart of the world has most tenderly cherished, even when the reason doubted.
